WASHINGTON, Noy. % --CongressU IN John
A. Anderson, Of X insas, has declared himself
In favor Of government tclCg-a legislation,

rection this winter:
During the eight years OF my c)Dgressiop-
al career" says he, al haye steadily advcca-
ted a postal telegraph. In tie coming con-
gress | shall urge the matter with no less per-
iistency than | have In the past. Kansas,
and In fact all the territory west OF the Ms
souri, river, is especially INTEREST," In prevent
ing such a monopoly as shall deprive it's peo.
pie Of tbe privilege OF receiving, la the freest
manner, any and al news that can be obtain
ed. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy OF the
Western Union Telegraph company, sll OF the
land grant railroad having practically trans
ferred their telegraph lines tothe Gould inter
tsts, In spite Of the fact that their charters re-
quire them 20 operate their telegraph lines as
they operate their roads. In consequence,
when sr.vAl company reaches an eastern ter
minus In this territory, The railroad lines re
fuse TO receive It's business. A postal tele-
graph is needed to break down this monopoly
and to that end legislation should be had.

TRYING TO ARRANGE A PROGRAM.
Mr.. Carlisle has almost daily conferences
with the PRESIDENT. There is no doubt that
Nj. Cleveland Is exceedingly anxious that
there shall be harmony OF action between the
| Democrat. house and himself. Mr.. Carlisle
| COZ ours In the vital importance OF this mat
ter, ard Is c~xert!ng himself to understand
lust Whist the president wants, ald to explain
to the pres dent Just about what the house Is
likely to do upon the most particular
toIics OF the day. Any failure upon the part
Of the house 70 accord with the presidelt
rpou the matter OF public and party policy
will be owing 10 the ohstinacy or wilfuluess
OF some fancy. Mr.. Carlisle has recently e1-
| ,ressed the belief that both wings of the
party will "hop together during the coming
session. Indeed, It is believed by the beet
friends of Mr.. Randall hat, If he refuses 10
permit the m, )rity OF his party 10 manage
! national sf IRA, be will certainly commit
political hari-Ssrl.
